The spotlight shines on the Royal Poker Club Hanoi this month as the Vietnam International Poker Tour 2024 approaches. Set to take place in just a few days, April 19 to April 29, 2024, the inaugural event is a brainchild of the young poker room boasting a lineup of 37 trophy events and an impressive VN₫ 40 Billion (~USD 1.6 Million) in guarantees.
